AGH -- My Kalidascape is Dying !!!!!
Woke up this morning to an evil amber glow coming from my Kalidascape Cinema One - Went in to google " Kalidascape evil amber glow" and there was an email from Kalidascape saying I had an imminent hard drive failure - Then 30 seconds later my installer called saying they had gotten the same alert - Those folks are on top of things - Luckily I have all 1,000 Cds backed up to my PC - The 200 movies are saved on an internal redundant drive .... now the bad news
Kalidascape discontinued the hard drive for my model and it can't be repaired - They did offer me a replacement unit at a nice discount but I figured I'd check in here to see what other members were using - WOW ... how things have progressed over 7 years - I spent as much time looking up the new terminology as reading the posts (For a half dozen pots I thought Roon was room ... duh) Anyway with the discount I'm offered wouldn't be much difference in price between the Kalidascape and some of the favorites mentioned in the forum - That said Kalidascape as a company has been through some changes and I'm wondering if I might be better off giving up the movies and going to a straight forward music sever The beauty of the Kalidascape was it's interface .. completely plug and play - Even came with a kids remote and I had a 4 year old who could operate it - Is there anything that simple compatible with an AARP member's budget? |

Now here's a familiar face ... great to see you again - My first thought is trying to track down a replacement drive for the Cinema One - You wouldn't have one laying around the kitchen would you?
The thought of going through the "find a server" process is a bit overwhelming - I get finger cramps trying to search out the acronyms - I'm almost tempted on the Kalidascape but there seems to be better options if I can ever figure out the tech side - Anyway as always I will keep you in mind |

Kalidascape is off the list - The current Cinema One doesn't have RAID back up which is kind of crazy as sooner or later the hard drive will fail - My conversation with their tech support said it was a decision at that price point - Thinking about how the world has evolved since the long ago days of stereo NetFlix and with all the top quality movie streaming services I really don't need to hold a personal movie library anymore - I'm going strictly with something to house my audio collection - Bye Kalidascape ... I really loved you but now I think it's time for a change - Besides my grandson is older and doesn't need a special remote
